Nothing personal, but nothing irritates me MORE than people saying "YOU need
to do something this way and NOT any other way EVER." You (PleasM), and a
buncha doctors I know, need to remember that YMMV and some people are in fact
able to get by filling their syringes up with enough insulin for 6 days! I
use about 32 units per day...If I were to take the neck thing out and use the
long syringe method with close to 300 units - that would be ALMOST 10
days!!!!! Just FYI, however, I dont like having the syringe thing stick out
of the top of the pump - so I only use the short syringe method. But if I
didn't care about that thing sticking out - you betcha, I'd fill 'er up. Of
course I use Velosulin, so I don't have those Humalog deterioration problems.
I also don't change my site EVERY 2 or 3 days like "they" tell you MUST be
done. HORRORS!!!! Hey, if it ain't broke - don't fix it.
